Many persons lost their cellphones useage and most businesses - TopicsExpress



          

Many persons lost their cellphones useage and most businesses could not access the internet to process credit cards in several counties of Washington and Oregon on Friday afternoon. What caused the mayhem? Well, it turns out a less than wary backhoe operator cut into the major fiber optic cable feeding Walla Walla, Franklin, Garfield, Columbia, and Umatilla counties. Did he call the 811 locater service before digging? Nope! Imagine, if you will, how vulnerable our world has become to the slightest disruption in the technical services and how easy it is to disrupt that service to broad sections of the country.
